Yes and not only that but I bet RT will tank frame rates.

i get what you mean actually.
i am like that at other items i feel overpriced like the macbook pro laptops that just came out and instead opted for a windows dell xps one as i felt shafted.
The 2080 normal one aint that bad priced, its the ti thats a joke.
i could probably sell my 980gtx sli for 400 quid and that could help fund this
Pro gamers may go for this as seeing your opponents in reflections provides a clear advantage.

i think its mainly for future proofing?
One thing I'd also worry about is how long until they refresh the range. Do you think these cards are likely to have a 2.5+ year lifespan like the 10-series until they're superceded by something faster and cheaper?
I'd want to be very certain of the longevity of a video card if I was spending 4 figures on it!

Think I agree on the 2080 being close to normal (can be had for £100 more than the 1080 on launch), as long as we get the normal % fps gains over a 1080ti. Looking at specs though, I'm inclined to say it's going to be closer to a 1080ti than usual most probably which will be slightly disappointing.
Yes I bet that is why there are no benchmarks
The reflections in the shop windows look terrible - whether it's the model of the shopfront is "wrong" or whatever but all I can see is flames that look like they are inside the shop, due to the way the window frames etc appear to be in front of the fire reflection.
They are a stop gap until the next die shrink which should become available by this time next year, this generation is very much like the 980Ti was big Gpu extra watts and very hot.
I think ppl are missing the point there is probably a load of 1080ti still needing to be sold so wasn't going to price the cards to cheap to keep there partners happy.
If the 2070 is just behind the 1080ti in performance then the price is rite and if the 2080 is say 20-30% ahead then the price is rite if they are trying to keep the old 1080ti in the game
As for the 2080ti I think they are just trying to go after the hardcore with it

At 1440p/165 Hz and need something better than the 1070. Most of all I'm in love with Forza Horizon and want to experience Horizon 4 with as many frames as possible (Horizon 3 sits between 70 and 110).
someone just shot you while you looked at the fire.
Thats gaming not walking around looking at the world in a fps game
You can introduce things that look wrong and people wont see it due to them are shooting people.
Main reason, tons of unsold cards from previous gen.
Now the gamer is punished for that
I'm still slightly hopeful that the 2070 is going to bench similar to a 1080ti in most games.
...but I have a feeling it's going to be 1080 speed, and technically can do raytracing, but doesn't have the horsepower to do it in real games, only tech demos.

Again, if the price continues to improve with performance then next time the xx70 card would be 700.
Doesn't sound "rite" to me.

I didn't know BF5 was out yet. For me this is a really hard sell, and I think it's the same for others. Even if you can appreciate the technical implications.
I think when we see it in realtime for ourselves, it'll be different. Just not 1,099 different. It's something that doesn't work well as a humble brag and is best left for people to discover for themselves.
Maybe I'll be more impressed when i see some benchmarks or they announce more features. Right now this is feeling a whole lot less exciting than when they announced the 1080 card in 2016 though.
Feels like Nvidia simply chucking out an iterative upgrade to milk existing tech, with a big PR push behind it to make it seem new and shiny, whilst AMD isn't in a position to offer any competition?
As others have said it's very suspicious to see ludicrous claims of "6 times the performance" without any benchmarks to back it up!
